Grumpy old buggers thread

Why? Under the amnesty just take gun to police and hand over. No questions asked.

It may be an old sluggy but may be found at some point.

It was before the amnesty,i should have put that in the post.

Ask CIG/BOC to come and collect the bottles left behind by a previous resident.

If they are like the gas people,they wont pick them up.There is one 45 KG bottle here and two at Arrawarra,i have given up calling them.
We don't pay any rent on them,i will drop them off at the tip eventually.Two stamped 1991 so out of date 2001.

Old BOC/CIG bottles dont have a scan code on them so they wouldnt know where they came from anyway.

Great. These would have been issued by YKw before 2000 when I packed it all in so cannot see any form of barcode on either.



Who said Dabs? Naaaa.

I had so much fun with an air rifle as a kid. Only thing was the rabbits did not like the slugs nor die from them

RIP the nice semi auto shot gun did work on rabbits that a person I would not spit on caused to be turned in to trash!

Old school sluggy had one, loved it.

My new ones will put down things much better (.17 @ 1250fps and a PCP .22 at 980fps)

The Adler will get rid of a wascally wabbit no worries.

Yes we had slug guns when we were kids as well.

Started off with cheapies,then moved up to i think they were BSA,we could only just cock them,they were pretty powerfull,and had a scope.

Cleaned up heaps of rabbits left over from the Greyhound kennels down the road,taught us how to stalk and shoot accurately.And they bred like rabbits so always heaps around,the young ones were generally easy to get,the adults were always a challenge.Our dogs loved them for dinner,quick skin and gut,chop in half,half for each dog for dinner.
Rats in the shed were fun,as were cane toads.

Eventually we moved up to the old mans Savage .22/.410.Being single shot it was pretty safe,using .22 sub sonics,pretty quiet as well.
The .410 came in handy for the feral pigeons.
Still use the gun today.

Yes, if they had bred like Pterodactyls there would be questions asked 4 sure.

Talking about scopes,about 30 yrs ago I fitted a small 4x40 scope to the Savage,best thing I ever did.

I don’t know how we put up with those open sights for so long,we used to put white paint on them for night shooting….
